A few things about Bryan Villarin

I need a new head shot, so I removed my portrait.

I’m a proud Happiness Engineer with Automattic, with my primary focus on helping people at WordPress.com.

I’m passionate about photography, making music (Marshburn), WordPress.org / WordPress.com, productivity, and helping people.

I write about whatever comes to mind, hopefully not drowning in a sea of terse Twitter updates and “look at me!” blog posts. If I know a couple dozen people get something out of this, it’s worth my time.

I do have the Twitter username, @bryan. No, I will not give/sell it to you, especially because it’s against their terms of service.

As of January 2011, I’m continuing my undergrad college career at Cal Poly Pomona in Business Administration, with an emphasis in Computer Information Systems. (CIS emphasizes solving business problems with computing technology.)

I love photowalking, especially street photography. I love landscapes, too.

I also love to read. I subscribe to various sites and blogs through Google Reader, with select longer items saved to Instapaper for synchronizing to my Kindle 3G.
